エレミヤ書 4:17 JCB

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Jehovah immediately promised that if Israel would return, she would be established. Then the prophet declared that judgment was determined on. He appealed to the people to repent, and that not in external manifestation, but actually and in heart. The people are described as panic-stricken because of the imminent peril. In a parenthesis (verse Jer 4:1 o), the prophet's anguish is revealed as he sees the judgment falling. Nevertheless he continued his message, and described the swift attack of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Subsection 2). YHWH’s Solemn Warning To Judah In The Days Of Josiah (Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 6:30 ). This section can be divided into four parts: · Jeremiah 3:6 to Jeremiah 4:2. Israel is held up as an example to Judah, both of faithlessness and of hope for the future. For because of what they had done Israel were in exile, and were ashamed of their ways, but if only they would turn to Him in their exile they would be restored. For them there was hope. It was very different with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:3-22

Judah Are Called To Repentance As Well As Israel For They Are Still In Their Land, And, If They Will Only Truly Turn To Him With Genuinely Changed Hearts, Can Still Look Forward To The Future In Hope. The Truth, However, Is That They Will Not Do So With The Result That Destruction Will Come Upon Them Also (Jeremiah 4:3-22 ). YHWH now turns His attention to Judah. Their position was better than Israel’s because they were still in their land, and so He calls them to true repentance and a true... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:3-31

YHWH Warns Judah That If They Will Not Repent For Them Too Invasion By A Fierce Adversary Is Threatening And Will Undoubtedly Come Because Of Their Sins (Jeremiah 4:3-31 ). If Judah will not respond to the example provided by Israel, and the glowing picture of hope for the future offered to them, they too will experience invasion and go through a similar experience. They are thus called on to repent accompanied with the warning of what will happen to them if they do not. They will suffer an... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 4:5-18

Jeremiah 4:5-Job : . The Enemy’ s Approach.— Warning is given by the horn, and guidance, to the refugees fleeing to Jerusalem, by the standard; they are bidden to bring (their families) into safety (not “ flee for safety” ). The lion-like foe draws near to destroy, and the courage (Hebrew “ heart” , Jeremiah 4:9) of Judah’ s leaders fails them. The prophets will say that they have been deceived in prophesying prosperity ( cf. Jeremiah 6:14, Jeremiah 14:13, Jeremiah 23:17; Jeremiah’ s own... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 4:17

They will strictly besiege her, as keepers of a field will be careful who go in and who go out, Zechariah 12:2; they will watch that none go in to relieve them, and also that none get out to escape: see 2 Chronicles 16:1. Because she hath been rebellious: God doth not threaten his judgments only, but he labours to convince them that there is a sufficient reason for it, both here and in the next verse. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Chapter 4But if you will return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if you will put away thine abominations out of my sight, then you will no longer be [moved or] removed. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth ( Jeremiah 4:1-2 ),It won't just be saying it as a phrase. And the people were still saying, "Oh, the Lord lives. Praise the Lord, the Lord lives!" But it was meaningless. Just like a lot of people today who go around saying, "Praise the Lord, praise the Lord!" It's... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 4:1-31

Jeremiah 4:3 . Break up your fallow ground. Hebrews ניר nir, novale; make new land, eradicate the thorns. Hosea 10:12. Our old phrase, the fallow deer, seems to give the exact import of the word. The deer that strays in the wilds and wastes of the forest, is an emblem of the unregenerate state of man. The old rabbins used to say, that the Spirit of prophecy was a rough spirit. Truly, soft words will not break up the heart where self-love has ever slumbered, and bitter weeds have ever... read more
